Location, contact information and hours

How do I access the clinic?

To access the clinic you will need to book an appointment at least six weeks prior to your travel.

What should I expect at my appointment?

At your appointment you will have a consultation from a public health nurse. This will include providing you with travel health education and completing a risk assessment that will provide recommendations for travel vaccines. You may also receive your routine vaccines if they are out of date.

The clinic fee and the length of your visit depend on the area to which you are travelling. You can anticipate your visit with us will be from one to two hours in length.

It is important to bring any vaccine records that you may have or request them from your doctor in advance.

Will it cost me anything to use the travel clinic?
